MSNBC pressured to boot host for ties to Hillary

Donald Trump isn’t the only one MoveOn.org, the far left group supporting socialist Bernie Sanders, wants to oust from politics. It’s also trying to remove Chris Matthews from his anchor’s chair at MSNBC over complaints the “Hardball” host has a personal conflict in covering Hillary Clinton’s run for president.In a stunning case of the left turning on itself, MoveOn.org has persuaded more than 17,600 Democrat activists to sign a petition demanding the president of MSNBC suspend liberal Matthews while his wife, Kathleen, runs for Congress as a Democrat from Maryland. Kathleen Matthews has hitched her political fortunes to Clinton’s campaign.“There is a clear conflict of interest between Kathleen’s new political career and Chris Matthews’ journalistic obligations to the public,” MoveOn.org says in its petition.
